When someone is having a bad day, give them support in whatever way you can but not so much that you deplete your own energy and need help in return. It’s okay to weigh whether or not it’s right to help someone who asks. And, if you are able, then it’s usually okay to help as well. But there are times when it’s righter to pull inward and care for the self. Friends and family will understand. Those who truly care about you will understand. Those who know you well will understand and they will remember all the times you have offered yourself unconditionally, but sometimes it just isn’t possible. At such times, offer to yourself all that you would have offered someone else. And be grateful that you took care of what needs doing at home, knowing that the next time you are called upon you will be refreshingly ready to help.

All our love,
